The noise of a new moon barely ever betrays what is to come, but rest assured, something will. Perhaps there are suggestions of sounds - you can maybe hear the fuzz of an idle amplifier, or faint coughs and whispers at the end of intermissions, or the echo of footfall in an empty parking lot. New moons are monthly silences that veil untold beginnings. In the beginning, there was silence, an absence that precedes existence. But that total unknown is also home to infinite potential and vast possibilities. A black weighted blanket smothering your intuition. If full moons are periods of total illumination, wild parties boiling over with an untamable rhythm, new moons are a vacuum. Maybe this date would be a total shit show, but maybe it could also be the beginning of something beautiful, beyond my imagination, that I shouldn’t avoid. But the same girlfriends who told me to reschedule refused to let me do so. My romance lives on good omens and supernatural instincts. Nobody could predict anything, good or bad, because nobody could predict anything at all. “It’s the new moon,” they warned me, over and over. Usually, they can find some positive spin on even the worst-timed cosmic adventures. I thought that asking around my tight clique of professional mystics might abate some of my anticipatory anxiety. I could just as easily have been crossing the taiga for all my impotent ignorance. Whatever intuition had led me to that moment refused to push me any further. But nothing could satisfy my vague existential dread.
I scrubbed my grout with Pine-Sol and Florida Water.
#New moon gemini meaning skin
I melted my hair down with keratin and resurfaced my skin at a Chinatown salon. I suffered the usual meaningless, meticulous preparations. Once upon a time, I had a date on a new moon.
